    Hi Elaine many thanks for the information. William Garden Finnie was my g/grandfather and Janet Stoddard Finnie my g/grandmother. I have researched and found out that they came from Scotland to the Uk and did settle in Fulham before moving on to Hemel Hempstead. I cannot figure out where the name Dickson fits in as I only have her maiden name as Stoddard. Their son Alexander Finnie was my grandfather and he had the Fishery Inn in Boxmore H/Hempstead but came to South Africa in 1919 and died in 1920. He had a son William Alexander, to Alice Ethal Whur in approx 1901 and she died in 1903. I have been trying to find out what happened to William Alexander Finnie but haven't had any luck. Janet Finnie had another son, Dawson who lived in Wandsworth, so I guess she must have been living with him when she passed away.
